I love the outdoors, food, and college football, and I’ll be thru-hiking the PCT in 2025. I have synesthesia, I love the band U2, and I once thru-hiked the JMT in sandals (would not recommend). I’m a published author in the field of New Testament and I’ll be heading back to school to work on my PhD after the trail.

Decision Time

Decision Time

I quit my job last week. I moved out of my apartment a few days later. Right now, I’m sitting on a bus on the way to San Diego. I’m going to be homeless for the next five months—and what’s more—I’m choosing this.

Why the PCT?

I’m going to address 3 questions here: Why am I doing a thru-hike? Why did I choose the PCT? Why am I doing this now?

Who am I? That’s a great question.
